This is a while ago. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I may also have a had a problem with two different sets of configuration files (the locations seems to have changed). As far as I am concerned, the ticket can be closed.

When trying to start as a regular user from the command line: mvl@purple:~$ nm-applet --sm-disable ** (nm-applet:2656): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service. Error: (9) Connection ":1.67" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file This can be solved by adding a line: <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/> to the <policy context="default"> section of: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf I also tried not adding it to the 'default' context, but to 'at_console="true"', but that does not seem to work.
